Safety

Standard safety features included on any model of the X3 include antilock disc brakes with automatic brake drying which is helpful in rainy weather. Airbags on the front and sides of the front seats are standard as well as side curtain airbags the entire length of the vehicle. Stability control and hill descent control are also standard.

A unique safety feature of the X3 and all BMWs is the xDrive. This system can instantly detect any slippage in one of the wheels and redirect the power from the wheel that’s slipping onto the wheels with the most traction.
